90-minute disruption delays North-South Line commuters during Monday morning rush
A track fault along the North-South Line delayed the travel of thousands of commuters during the morning rush hour on Monday.
At a little past 7am, SMRT reported a “track circuit failure” on the south bound line between Jurong East and Kranji MRT stations.
It later said in its Facebook page that the service between the stations was restored at 8:32am.
SMRT sent engineers to investigate and rectify the fault. While engineers were working to solve the problem, it had advised commuters to expect additional 15 minutes of traveling time and that free buses had been deployed at affected stations between Admiralty and Ang Mo Kio.
